The Safe Ride Home program is a safe and timely transportation service within the city limits of Maryville, MO, offered by students, for students at Northwest Missouri State University. Safe Ride Home provides a shuttle system so students can travel to various retail stores in Maryville throughout the week. We also offer a taxi service for late-night transportation for students to use in a preventive manner (have used a substance or plan to use a substance that can cause impairment) when students are in situations they feel are unsafe.
